    Downloading Direct From Camera

    I had a bit of a glitch with my camera & after getting it up & running again, I was advised by the technician to always download from the card, never direct from the camera! I'm taking his advice.

    i always download diect from the camera using nikon viewnx2

    free download and works with most brands of camera or cards

    using the card directly can be quicker but i dont like disturbing cards all the time.

    not to mention many people are their own worst enemies by putting their fingers on the cards contacts when they handle them.

    Not a problem with CF cards.

    However, I have found that pushing a CF card in to a reader can bend the pins in the reader. I've had to dismantle the USB3/Multi-Card reader to straighten them.

    I always used to download via the camera, now I go straight from the card, due to the time involved.

    That's the reason I installed a USB3/multi-card reader into the desktop PC.

    Card out is quicker when dealingwith RAW etc. Also a decent card reader will make a load of difference (I had a $5 chinese card reader that if you left the card in you would get magical spyware put on the card)

    I run
    ImageMate All-in-One USB 3.0 Memory Card Reader by SanDisk

    However, downloading via the camera is designed when the camera was created. If it is causing you issues then it is a fault on the camera and should be recalled.

    If I've only got a few images, e.g., after having taken just a few to illustrate a post on the forum, I'll plug into the camera. When there are a lot of images, a card reader is much faster than the camera connection - especially on my oldest DSLR.
